Arx Pax Labs, Inc.

Arx Pax Labs, Inc. is a Silicon Valley technology company that invented Magnetic Field Architecture (MFA) technology and a three-part foundation system[1] for safer building in flood zones and coastal areas.[2] The three-part foundation system is the basis for SAFE Building System,[3] drawing from technologies used in pontoon bridges and floating airport runways. Applications of MFA technology and hover engines include structural isolation (ShakeAlert), recreation and entertainment, industrial automation, and transportation (such as some technology used in pods for SpaceX's Hyperloop pod competition). The initial proof of concept for MFA was the Hendo Hoverboard that launched in October 2014.[4] Currently, the company has 10 patents.[5]

The co-founder and CEO is Greg Henderson.
